Some ers were starting to get a little bored of the 2025 Pakistan Super League with Islamabad United brushing aside all opponents and winning their opening six games.
However, that apathy has very swiftly turned to engaged interest once again after Lahore Qalandars opened up the group stage with a comprehensive 88 run victory over Islamabad United in Lahore on Wednesday.
With Quetta Gladiators defeating Multan Sultans themselves by 10 wickets on Tuesday, this game sets up a very interesting clash between two in-form teams who have Islamabad United in their sights at the top of the table.
Lahore will have home advantage but it is Quetta who have already won three in a row and this looks set to be a magnificent clash at the Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday evening.

ers of Lahore Qalandars had seen their team win their previous game but few held out much hope for their clash against Islamabad United on Wednesday!
But maybe that was what Lahore needed - a reason to prove their fans and the rest of the cricketing public wrong as they brushed aside the league leaders, who up until that game had a 100% winning record, to emerge victorious by 88 runs.
Although none of the top six made a half-century, they all made at least 22 with opener Fakhar Zaman top scoring on 44. Sam Billings and Sikandar Raza both scored quickly towards the end of the innings and will bring plenty of momentum into this fixture.
Many had picked out Lahore's bowling line-up as their major strength and so it proved on Wednesday with only Daryl Mitchell going wicketless from their six-man attack. Raza (3/20) and Haris Rauf (4/31) will come into this game with a huge amount of confidence.

Quetta Gladiators will arrive at the stadium with a bowling attack and entire squad full of self-belief from their last game although they can expect a much sterner challenge against Lahore Qalandars on Friday.
Khurram Shahzad (4/23) was the pick of the bowlers in the win over Multan Sultans, although Mohammad Wasim (2/18) and Faheem Ashraf (2/21) also caught the eye as the Sultans were dismissed for 89 from just 17 overs.
Even the wicketless pair of Mohammad Amir (0/14) and Abrar Ahmed (0/13) will fancy getting the ball in hand again after both kept their economy rates below 5.00 last time out.
With the bat, Saud Shakeel and Finn Allen got the necessary runs without a wicket falling and there is plenty of batting depth with the likes of Rilee Rossouw, Kusal Mendis and Mark Chapman to come this time around.

Average TurnThis is an excellent batting wicket although the smart and talented bowlers can still cause problems for the batters. A par score will be at least 195 in the first innings of this match in Lahore.
Although the temperature is not forecast to drop a huge amount across the game, there will be cooler conditions in the second innings so we predict that both teams will choose to bat first in this match.
Although it is Quetta Gladiators who have won three in a row, Lahore's win over Islamabad United has sent a shock-wave through the tournament. We expect Lahore to continue their form in this game and to pick up another victory.
